In the bustling world of Indian cricket, one name that has been making waves recently is Sanju Samson. The Kerala-born batsman has been in exceptional form, particularly in the T20I format, as evidenced by his performances over the past year.

Last year, Samson emerged as India's top T20I batter, amassing an impressive 436 runs in just 12 innings. His average of 25.38, while not astronomical, is a testament to his consistency. Moreover, he has notched up three centuries and two fifties in his career, a remarkable achievement in the shortest format of the game.

His centuries have come against formidable opponents such as Bangladesh and South Africa, demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure.

On Sunday, Samson once again showcased his prowess, scoring a century that served as a timely reminder of his capabilities as an opener. This century, coming in the context of India's 15-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup in the UAE, has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about his potential role in the team.

However, the team's management has suggested that Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma might be considered as openers. Despite this uncertainty, Samson's recent success as an opener, scoring three centuries in five innings since last year, suggests that he could be a valuable asset in the opening position.

Samson's impressive T20I career extends beyond last year's performances. In 42 T20I matches for India, he has scored a total of 861 runs, a testament to his consistency and skill.

As the Asia Cup approaches, Samson's century on Sunday has undoubtedly put him in the limelight. Whether he secures a spot in the playing XI or not, his talent and potential are undeniable, and cricket fans eagerly await his next performance.
